The Narragansett

To make the Narragansett, take an ounce and a half of bourbon and add an ounce and a half of sweet vermouth and a dash of anisette. Stir in an old-fashioned glass with ice cubes.

Chris says, "For a drink in which every element contains alcohol, this drinks tastes remarkably nonalcoholic." I think my palate will be the judge of that. "It has a nice, sweet taste," he says. "And I thought Narragansett was just a beer."

I agree that the drink tastes less alcoholic thann some of the others, and that it's surprisingly sweet. I'm sure it's the sweet vermouth saving me from total revulsion.
